The Christian Walk





"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." Romans 8:1-6

Dear Friends,
In Jesus Christ we enjoy a new beginning each day.  In spite of our shortcomings, in spite of our past we are free to live and to serve in the newness of life because of the sacrifice of Christ Jesus.  Since we are free, no longer condemned the scripture tells us that our walk is different. We no longer walk after the flesh but after the Spirit.  What does that mean?  We are not self-directed.  We have ordered steps, directed paths. We are led by God.
"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand." 
  - Psalms 37:23-24

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."  Proverbs 3:5-6

"O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles." - Psalms 43:3

The Christian Walk is a journey that begins with the acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ as our Personal Savior.  There is no substitute, there is no alternate path.  Rather, there is a road map that informs this walk, the Holy Bible. There is a Guide for this walk, the Holy Spirit.  The path, the way, is direct and clear, St. John 14:5-6 reads : 
"Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

Today and every day as we walk with the Lord let this be our prayer as was the Psalmist: 
"Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me." - Psalms 119:133

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help.

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...

Believing God

  Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform  it  until the day of Jesus Christ:” Preparing for the next chapter. Cleaning the clutter inside and out.  Reevaluating priorities.  Seeking a revival.  Believing God.  Slowing down a bit.  Focusing on spiritual wellness.  Taking care of my business.  Exercising faith.  Believing God. Stopping to view the sunrise.  Appreciating the sunset.  Planting flowers.  Picking some… Believing God.  Being thankful.  Being kind.  Being… Just being. Believing God.  God bless. In Christ, Sis.
